ahhh :) I think, you answered an important question. :)

I already like the colours and the patterns, but I prefer a rectangle quilt.

So your last post has given me the hope, that the quilt pattern can be enlarged to about 48x 70" (app.) ?

I hope to get fabric for double-size quilt, then I could expand the pattern, couldn't I?

This quilt is eminently expandable (4 patches are your friend there)

When I first made it I expanded it from a wall hanging to a 64" sq lap/single quilt...(covers a double bed tho.)
And as all the prep is in the early stages it goes together really fast.
I made the example that you are following in a weekend...Really!!!

You can really have some fun with the design!

That sounds great, thanks Imi!

Just another question.... can "wrong" or "false" four-patches also be used??
Somehow I was absent this afternoon and I took the wrong colours.... :\

That's, what should have come out,... and the additional green four-patches were an "accident" -<

Somehow my mind was in the older colour-scheme.

You are going for a dark background right?

I think it will look splendid!

Yes, that's right, but somehow is the dark blue too similar to the black background. The green would offer a better contrast....

Here are mine, sorry the camera caught some shadow. If you click on the pic to enlarge it you can see the little pale yellow swirls on the background fabric. Hehe...hey Lowie, I've got a heap of leftover background fabric in my stash so if I decide the red isn't going to be the "go"...guess what.....the green is coming back! mmwahahahahaha!   :devil:

Oh yes, me too. Especially, because I would like to enlarge it to a rectangle quilt :)
